    Arcade 1up does a great job with their full size arcade machines. Theynare sturdy, easy to assemble, good height and very accurate gameplay with solid controls and graphics. I want them to keep making more of these machines with different games

    1st day with it. Love it so far. Easier to assemble than my previous cabs. Be sure to drop your marquee and sound cords down thru the opening before screwing the top together. Instructions fail to mention this step. Riserless design is cool. It comes with color matching (mostly) screwhole covers. Joystick feels good. If you're on the fence get it.

    We love it! We have enjoyed playing it so much. It brings back so many good memories for me (46) and my son (9) has really enjoyed learning some of the games I grew up playing. Mt husband and I regularly compete to see who is at the top of the leaderboard. We may only play a few of the games (Pac Man, Dig Dug and Galaga primarily) but it was so worth it. It doesn’t take up much room and it was a darn sight less expensive than a traditional arcade that costs in the thousands. We are extremely happy. My husband did experience the usual frustrations putting it together, but was able to do so.

    Wow is an understatement! This took me all the way back to my childhood at the arcades. I would definitely purchase other games like this again. It was a little time consuming to construct but it was well worth it. It was a gift for my husbands man cave but it’s ours now, lol!

    A lot of fun my kid enjoyed playing and even the adults enjoy it. It’s like bringing back their childhood. The only downside is the joystick could use a little work. Sometimes when you tried to go a certain direction, it does not let you.

    Item is very cool, but extremely difficult to put together. If you use the riser, prepare for a 40" stool. You cannot see the screen anymore. Joystick isn't very responsive either. Nice to see a update to add more games.

    Looks great and plays great! But it was only me putting it together and it was tough to get the monitor to sit between the sides. Had to loosen the screws a couple times to align things but I got it all together nice. So I recommend enlisting a helping hand when assembling! Monitor looks crisp, Just wish there was a continue option for Tower of Duraga. It's a grind of a game! Galaxian rocks!
